Is this really it?

[The half-incredulous tone of a guy who is obviously gearing up for an impassioned speech of some sort, but still valiantly fighting the urge.]

A handful of paperwork, [and here he holds up his own file folder,] a mark on the wrist, and an assignment to placate us?

[Someone's vlogging, because as he walks past a nearby burn barrel he tosses his file into it and doesn't even watch the sparks fly up as he continues on his way. Something about symbolically burning the whole damn thing down to the ground comforts Markus enough that he moves on from suggesting outright revolt. For now.]

I'm not moving into a stranger's home, so no one living in De Chima #004 has to worry about a new roommate. And if anyone would like to be a dating app developer, the position is currently up for grabs.

Anyone of a like mind, I'd appreciate your perspective.

I'm sure it's a great relief to the trail of victims they leave in their wakes.

[jericoded]

You're serious.

[heliophilic]

I don't joke about dead civilians.

[jericoded]

No prisons? No consequences at all?

[heliophilic]

There's a prison. And some kind of probation nonsense. The whole system's a joke.

[jericoded]

This has been the case for years, though. Hasn't it?

[heliophilic]

For as long as I've been here, coming on 3 years.

[jericoded]

[Three years isn't a particularly long time, but...] Is there no call for reform?

[heliophilic]

[It is in imPort terms.]

We're too busy worrying about other things. Like the world trying to end every other weekend.

[jericoded]

I meant from the native people here.

[heliophilic]

I'd say my answer covers both camps pretty firmly. They're too busy worrying about the current disaster to put too much thought into the cause of the last one.
